You can use style guides to create theme-specific styles.

You can use Site Studio style guides to create theme-specific styling and layout overrides. The style guides allow you to use theme inheritance to generate style and layout changes that override specific aspects of the parent theme. Both parent and sub-themes must use style guides.

For more detailed information, see [Style guide manager](/drupal-starter-kits/add-ons/site-studio/style-guide-manager "Style guide manager") in the user guide.
